PPD-free colour can still cause a reaction, so the patch test is never waived.

Questions

Asked at nearly every consultation

Honest answers, including the ones that do not work in our favour.

Sometimes. Ammonia-free colour lifts two to three levels a session, so dark to platinum can take several visits, or it might not be possible. We will say so honestly at the consultation.

Roughly the same, four to six weeks. It fades more gently, which most people prefer.

Yes, once you have checked with your midwife or GP and had a patch test. We do not claim any colour is safer in pregnancy than another; the decision is yours and your midwife’s.

Yes. Very resistant greys can need a second visit, and we will tell you at the consultation if yours might.

Yes. It suits the slower lift, so it is the technique we recommend most.

A little more than a conventional salon. The refill scheme on your care products brings some of that back over time.
